HOROSCOPES: March 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It won't be an absence of good ideas that could bog you down. Your problems are likely to come from the way you try to implement them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Even though you'll have the ability to gain ground on an endeavor, if you let your guard down, you're likely to lose a little in the end. Be steadfast through it all.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Associate with friends who appreciate material things as much as you do. Pals who are far too loose with their dollars could trigger extravagance in you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your judgment in career matters is quite astute, yet there's a chance you could suddenly change your plans and not follow through on your intentions. Try to stay the course.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Unfortunately, not everyone you encounter can be taken seriously. If you're smart, you'll keep your guard up, especially when dealing with any unknown quantities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Although at times you can be a very generous person, this might not be the case today. You're not likely to share any gains, even with those who deserve a reward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be as diplomatic as you can, especially if you're trying to get others to endorse a difficult position. Market your conviction with authority.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Devote your time to persons who truly are in need of your help and expertise, not to those who are capable of making it on their own. Much joy can come from helping deserving parties.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If it becomes necessary for you to seek advice from a trusted counselor, be sure to impart the whole situation. Don't hold back on any of the warts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your industrious efforts are likely to count for little if you work at such a speed that you fail to see what you're missing. Slow down a bit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Proposals might sound good and even look great on paper, but don't jump on board without first checking things out. They might not hold up under close scrutiny.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Do not make a commitment that you know is likely to collapse in a heartbeat. If it turns out that you can't do what you promised, you had better beat a hasty retreat.
